I believe that is still a gray area. Louisiana declared that they were moving the boundary line but the Feds still have not approved it. Until then, if you get caught by the Feds in the gray zone, it's Feds rules. La WLF can't help you and WLF tells you that up front. This is just my opinion of course. I just don't want anyone to think that the state's declaration gives them any protection from the Feds.

La game warden advised me they will write tickets if u have redfish over 3 miles
They also are watching people coming in and stopping em at jetties

I'd bet you'd win in an LA court under LA rules. They declared the line further out, but nothing in the declaration suggests the further boundary only applies to snapper. I wouldn't recommend testing it, because you'll lose on Federal charges in a Federal court, and if you beat LDWF in a state court, they'll hand the evidence over to the Feds just to spite you.

It is probably best to stop for a few minutes a mile or two from the jetties and catch your redfish there.
